On the model's scale they rate 0.63 in attack and 1.60 in defence (1.00 = an average top-flight side, lower defence is better), against Premiership averages of 0.67 and 1.53: close to the division's average. Across their last 5 league matches they have 2 wins and 3 draws, most recently drawing with Motherwell 1-1 at home. That is 1.42 points a match, scoring 1.42 and conceding 1.42 per game across 4 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats. That leaves them 14 points behind Celtic at the top, in a table of 12. Among the 12 rated sides in the division that is the 6th-best attack and the 7th-best defence. They scored in 5 of those 5 and kept 1 clean sheet. Next they host Heart of Midlothian in the Premiership on 31 October 2026, a match the model gives them 33%.
